Warning: There’s some cheese.
Top of the Pops is making a return this Christmas, this got me thinking about those Irish artists who had the pleasure of performing a number one track on the show.
Thin Lizzy, The Cranberries and Snow Patrol are just some of the bands who never had a number one single in the U.K.
Here are some of the most recent Irish artists to have scored a number single in the U.K during the shows tenure, feel free to suggest any that I’m leaving out.
Pop, so much pop.
